Recent Austin area Reviews

My husband & I stayed at the cottage for 5 nights. We came to Austin to have a quick getaway before our work/business got too busy to have a break from the craziness. This cottage was perfect for our visit. Anything you would need was there when we got there. Waking up to the birds chirping, and having Ramsey Park directly across the street was the best! Having a small TV upstairs would have been convenient, but we managed just fine. We would recommend this for any couple traveling to the area.

This cottage was a lovely little place to relax in, in a great neighborhood a comfortable walk or a micro drive from Downtown, and just by Pease park. It is really quite spacious for two and very well appointed, kitchen is great and bed very comfortable. Only niggle was the wi-fi was very temperamental, and would flicker in and out with increasingly annoying regularity. This wasn't ideal for us as we were in Austin for SXSW and were really relying on social media to get up to minute ideas of where to go next and so on. Neither myself or my husband could get a good wifi connection in the bedroom either which limits lazy mornings! We had an issue with a very noisy racket (drills by our bed!) one morning which we probably would have appreciated not to start at 7am (and finish at 2pm) but Syd was quite apologetic and tried to help.
Overall a beautiful house in an interesting and convenient neighborhood, would definitely stay again when in Austin (would be five stars but for the wifi!!)

The house is great - a lot of character and in great shape, the facilities in top shape and the location is awesome, just two blocks off the best part of South Congress. Tommy was a truly fantastic host, showing us around the house and keeping in touch during our stay making sure we had all we needed. The porch and garden we really nice, wish we had more time to enjoy them.
